LIGHT HOUSES
Characterize the Theaters, but
the Attractions Deserve Better.

the Attractions Deserve Better.
1t must have been the weather last
night. 1t was bad and unreasonable
evening, with the mercury playing near
zero, and with many people very
strong attraction was necessary to lure
them from their firesides. The theaters
suffered. Light houses were the rule,
without an exception. Though the
favorite ModjeSka was giving Shake
Spearean comedy at the Grand, and the
popular Lillian Lewis was presenting
realistic drama at the Hennepin. neither
temple could boast its crowded cOndi-
ton.
Modjeska appeared as Isabella in
Measure for Measure" Though by no
means tragical, it is a little mysterious
why this well-kn0wn drama should be
true enough, bAIt the general plot is any
thing but cOnical. 1t is rather Sug-
gestive, and on this account is not often
seen on the American stage, but as given
last night, most of the questionable
matter was eliminated. MOdjeSka
was, of course, the central figure,
and the character of the devoted
and high-minded Isabella was invested
with a lofty and winning grace perhaps
never seen since the days of Fanny KEN
BILE. The support was excellent and the
comedy put on without flaw. Tonight
Mary Stuart will be the bill.
Miss Lillian Lewis, with fair COM
pany, began weeks engagement at the
Hennepin, presenting for the opening
bill the dramatization of Wilkie Collins
story, The New Magdalen." Miss
Lewis has fine pair of lungs and a
rather ultra idea of expressed passion
the only fault to be found with her. The
play is pleasing one, and she was fire.

could give a warning, the motor was
upon him, and had struck and tossed
him to one side. He was picked up,
bleeding profusely, though not uncon-
scious, and carried to Twenty-sixth
street, where he was identified as above.
Dr.. Avery dressed his wounds, which
consisted of several terrific cuts on the
head and chest, besides injury to his
neck and back. He is severely hurt and
may not recover. He is about thirty
years of age, unmarried, and pattern
maker at the Variety iron works.
1t is difficult to say any blame could
be attached to the engineer, but the
fault probably lies with the system.

lam B. Mcclure against John n. Brad
ford for 1868 each was dismissed. This

money back. The conrt held that the
first party only sold them an equal
chance with himself, and, as they all
lost what they had invested, they were
all equally liable.

The local horsemen held a meeting

of lard near Minnehaha has been leased,
on which a mile track will be laid out:
suitable buildings and stables will be
constructed and be ready for next sea-
son. A committee of three, consisting
of w. E. Hartford, Il. B. Vining and
X. +. Jones were appointed
to draft bylaws and report
at the next meeting, which will be held
at the Nicollet next Thursday evening
at O'Clock. The constitution was read
and adopted, after which there were
short addresses made by number of
those present. The committee solicit
ing subscriptions for stock reported
much enthusiasm among the horsemen
for the new track, and thought there
would be no trouble in raising the $780,

HARD TIME COMING.
Winter and the POor-WOrk of
Charity-Some Pointed Cases.

In conversation had with Mr.. Holt,
secretary of the Associated charities,
upon the outlook for the poor and needy,
this coming winter, he remarked that
this present cold snap we are enjoying
just at present has been the occasion of
general shake-up all around, and in
consequence the office has been busy
lately looking up cases.
There is wide mistake abroad that
the associated charities has bank fund
to rely up. The real truth is, this Or
ganiZation only pretendS to examine,
investigate and report on cases, whether
worthy or not. What is badly needed
here is great benevolent society hav-
ing the necessary capital to at
once assist worthy cases of dis
tress. Innumerable frauds turn up
weekly in the city, who would gull the
generous, were it not for the excellent
watching of Mr.. Holt and his assistants,
but at the same time he deplores the
lack of funds when a really genuine
case of distress can't be assisted. Ludi-
crouS cases come to his notice quite fire.
quently. Last week man and his
wife and five children arrived all the
way from Memphis to winter in
Minneapolis sans cash, sans raiment,
SANS every tnlnS, lana IN most 1nSlnuat-
ing manner cast himself and his belong
ings, including the five sprouts, on the
tender mercies of the charitable. 1t was
the most deplOrable case of nervous dis
tension of the gall ever experienced in
the nervy experiences of Mr.. Holt
Once in awhile in the discharge
of his duties he comes across samples of
the miserable subterfuges resorted to
by wOuld-be philanthrOpists in brow
beating the weak and needy. A case in
point is that of a woman on the East
side who has sick husband, man al
together incapable of doing anything
for a number of years, and so this woman
has been taking in washing and ironing
for living. Her work is neat and fine,
her reputation the very best for hon
esty and responsibility. yet people have
refused to give her work because she
would not voluntarily offer to wash at
the rate of one dozen shirts and skirts,
all of it starched work, for about 40 cents.
The work re .uires the lady to make two
street car trips and furnish all her own
material, yet these same wealthy peo-
pie try to pose in the community as
philanthropists, and the worst of it is.
this is no isolated case, but one of
many, showing the truth of the old say
ing that the richer some folks get the
meaner they become.

district court. 1t was generally sup
posed that the ownership of this cele-
brated dog had been settled for all time
by that eminent judicial luminary, Ace

the chances are that the dog will die
from old age before the case gets out of

Labor and Religion.

"The Relation of Christianity to the
Labor Movement" was the title of a
paper presented by Rev. DR.. Eels at the
meeting of the orthodox ministers yes
terday morning. The speaker said that
the work was being carried on in the
name of both God and the devil, as the
wOrkingmen have great sympathy with
the Chicago bomb-throwers, and yet
make prominent the fatherhOod of God
and the brotherhood of man. He held
that ministers would do well to pay more
attention to the subject, and advocated
the holding of labor prayer meetings.

only the Clark Perfect Tailor system in

Proposed Free Trade Club.

On the sixth floor of the Boston block
in lawyers office yesterday afternoon,
about O'Clock, few gentlemen were
present with the intention of forming a
free trade club in this city. The at
tendance was meager in the extreme,
and consequently the discussion that en-
sued was of rather dreary nature. The
object of the club was set forth by
E. G. Gale, who acted as chair
man, to be the dissemination of free
trade opinions. He believed in the adj
visibility of keeping clear of all local
politics unless in the case of a congress
sional election, the procuring of free
trade pamphlets and literature in gem
eral, and in fact, organize for mutual
improvement and instruction in the the
cries of free trade. Lowe Paige acted
as secretary and the meeting adjourned
till Monday week in the same place,

same time, O'Clock %. m.
